While your Chromebook's trackpad works well enough for most situations, there are some tasks for which a wireless mouse is better. Whether you need a wireless mouse to scroll through long documents faster or want to perform fine manipulations, there's a great wireless mouse out there with your name on it. Here are a few of our favorites.
Use anywhere
Logitech MX Anywhere 2S
Staff pick
This compact Bluetooth-capable mouse can be used on almost any surface (even glass) and has great battery life. While custom button functions aren't available for Chrome, you can pair it with up to three devices at once and switch seamlessly between.
Built for smaller hands
Autley Wireless Ergonomic Mouse
For some of us, a mouse can be too big to comfortably use — especially when it's an ergonomically designed model. This mouse from Autley has all the features you want like adjustable DPI and full compatibility with any operating system and is sized specifically to fit smaller hands.
Slim and ambidextrous
Logitech Pebble M350 Bluetooth Mouse
Looking for an ultra-portable and lightweight mouse that both lefties and righties can use? The Logitech Pebble M350 solves those problems with its slim design while featuring ultra-quiet scrolling, and up to 18 months of battery with a single AA battery.
Long life, low price
Logitech Wireless Mouse M510
If you want a wireless mouse that is comfortable to hold, comes in different colors, and has a long battery life — users report about one year on average — then check the Logitech M510. Your wallet will be as happy as you are!
Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse
A trackball offers precision that you'll never get through hand and wrist movement but can also be something you don't want to use all of the time. The answer is this combo mouse and trackball from Logitech that gives the best of both worlds along with super-long battery life.
A Basic Mouse
AmazonBasics Wireless Mouse
Sometimes all you want or need are the basics. This three-button mouse uses a 2.4GHz USB receiver, a one-year warranty, and does exactly what it's supposed to do, which is great for such a low price.
Swiss-Army Mouse
Logitech M720 Triathlon
Start with a precision laser for accurate tracking, toss in a newly sculpted body, big free-spinning wheel, and redesigned thumb button, and you have this Logitech option. Keep the Bluetooth or USB receiver options and multi-device pairing from the original and see why we love the M720 Triathlon.
King of the Hill
Logitech MX Master 3
Some love it because of the shape, while others like it because of its ability to track anywhere (even frosted glass) or because it's rechargeable. But almost everyone (sorry lefties) agrees it's one of the best wireless mice you can buy for any computer including your Chromebook. If you have multiple computers or supported tablets, you can switch between them easier than ever.
Handshake design
Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
The "handshake" position when using a mouse for long periods of time means less strain on your wrist and forearm and it's well worth giving a vertical mouse a try. Anker makes that easy with its offering; you get premium product and a cheap price tag along with a wrist that isn't sore at the end of the day.
Work or play comfortably
VicTsing Pioneer Wireless Mouse
Nobody likes being in the middle of a big project and then have their hands start to cramp or get sweaty. VicTsing helps to combat this with its ergonomic design, aiming to help fit the contours of your hands while providing a better grip on the sides. There's no USB-C, but VicTsing states the Pioneer's battery will last for up to a year before needing to recharge it.
Just the necessities
Jelly Comb Slim Wireless Mouse
If you're looking for a basic, no-nonsense mouse that has a slew of different colors to choose from, then the Jelly Comb Slim Wireless Mouse is perfect. There are more than 20 different colors to choose from, and when you're not using it, you can store the USB receiver in the mouse itself. There are no extra gimmicks, just a couple of buttons, the scroll wheel, and great battery life.
For the gamers
Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse
Gamers need buttons or at least want more buttons than your standard mouse provides. The Logitech G602 has been a fan-favorite for years and continues to be thanks to its reliability, and long battery life (rated for up to 250 hours with batteries). For those who want a mouse that's even lighter, you can remove one of the AA batteries and the mouse will continue to chug along.
Keep a mouse nearby
Your Chromebook's trackpad probably gets plenty of use — I know mine does. but sometimes you really can benefit from using a mouse. Editing pictures or playing games come to mind, as do long days filled with spreadsheets. Keeping a mouse handy can be a lifesaver sometimes.
With so many Logitech products on the list its no wonder the company sells so many computer peripherals — but it also happens to make most of our favorite wireless mice. My personal favorites are the to keep in my laptop bag (it seriously works anywhere) and the to use around the house.
Ergonomic mice are a big hit, too, and once you get used to the design you'll find that your wrist and forearm feel better after a long day. It's great seeing products that won't break the bank like and a mouse that's ergonomic and designed for smaller hands from means everyone can have better "wrist health". No matter what your needs might be, there's a wireless mouse you can use!
